Divine Emperor of Death

Claymore Empire and Ross Empire had one day to figure things out, but as soon as they heard about the massacre of the Guardian Alliance, they instantly gave up and sent envoys to the Loret Empire to swear allegiance.

The subsequent days quickly passed.

The remaining members of the Guardian Alliance quickly surrendered, disbanded, and went their own ways to live like a hermit or establish some powers that come under the jurisdiction of the newly formed tripartite alliance called the Grand Sea Alliance.

Both the Claymore and Ross Emperors had slave seals placed on them by Logan, whose soul force surpassed theirs. He took the helm from Clara and had reinstated himself as the Emperor of the Loret Empire, while Clara was more than glad to give up this position that burdened her a lot.

However, a new headache stuck to her in the form of her aunt, her little aunt Tia Alstreim. Tia constantly followed her behind, pestering her. However, the moment Tia explained how Davis bravely stepped forward and saved her from a heavenly tribulation, Clara fell as she curiously heard about the event with intense excitement that even showed a bit on her face.

As they talked, they became more and more awed by their big brother and actually became close enough like friends. Moreover, since they also learned that they possessed a unique constitution themselves, they resonated with each other, further talking about what the Alstreim Family and the Fifty-Two Territories were like, although Tia could only provide book-filled descriptions because she didn't wander out herself.

A day later, Emperor Mark Ruth resolved himself and told Davis that he could kill his sons if they ever tried to make a fuss, and he wouldn't hold a grudge over it. He said the same things to his sons, invoking anger and reluctance, but they could do nothing about it.

Davis didn't bother with them anymore and hung out with his women, roaming the Grand Sea Continent for fun. They enjoyed their vacation for a few days, crossing the mountains and rivers and heading to some famous cities outside their empire by flying.

Although they traversed by slowly flying, they were still fast with their cultivation bases.

On the way, they also encountered a huge bandit base and treated them with care. The bandits were full of gratitude to them for putting them out of their poor financial situation and their misery as they rested in peace on their soil.

As Davis and the others spread out to treat them with care in the forests, Davis took advantage of a lone Isabella and treated her with intense care as well. Her face went crimson from the attention he conferred to her lips, but then they separated for fear of falling into the temptation again.

They were feeling hot when they regrouped and entered a city where Natalya and Fiora took Isabella out shopping, saying that Davis didn't need to come with them because they were going to shop for some personal items, leaving Davis and Evelynn alone.

Evelynn was more than happy to stay with Davis as she began to walk along the streets with him, purely looking like she enjoyed the normal life of a mortal.

However, they chanced upon a haggard and exhausted Hana Ross, who seemed to have escaped from the Ross Kingdom with her husband, the thirty-eighth prince who also seemed equally battered.

Hana Ross miserably cried and disclosed that she was being l.u.s.ted after by her father-in-law Emperor Van Ross for the wrong she had committed against Evelynn, no, for offending Davis long ago. It was said that after she escaped, she and her husband were being pursued to be executed for insubordination.

"This isn't fair... Crown Prince Davis." Hana Ross pleaded as she miserably cried, "Please help me~ Please help us~"

"Are you kidding? I didn't do anything for you to be pursued... The fact that I overlooked you and allowed you to live in itself a miracle, and you want me to save you? You should thank Evelynn for letting you live in the first place."

Davis uttered coldly.

Hana Ross became ashen-faced as her body trembled when suddenly a voice echoed out.

"Crown Prince Davis, I also beg for your forgiveness for my wife. She was foolish and didn't mean anything in the past to happen. She deeply regrets it and has cried numerous times for making a mistake while being spurred by her immoral friends. People make mistakes, and she has turned over a new leaf. Please, only you have the power to forgive us so we may be absolved of our crimes back in the Ross Empire."

Davis looked at this random person called the thirty-eighth prince of the Ross Empire and narrowed his eyes. Indeed, only a fool would marry this woman after knowing that she had offended him, a fool in love to be exact.

"Davis, I want to save her..."

Davis turned to look at Evelynn, who sent him a soul transmission, making him raise his brows.

"It's fine if it was a problem unrelated to us, but it is related, which should've been resolved long ago. You deemed that she should live, and that word is final. Who is that Van Ross to change your verdict and pursue her for the wrongs that you had forgiven? Actually, it is clear that the bastard just l.u.s.ted after his own daughter-in-law and needed a reason to take advantage of her. That is all there is to it."

"...?"

Evelynn explained and echoed as if she was personally offended by Emperor Van Ross, who had been enslaved, but Davis still looked unsatisfied, making Evelynn try to convince again.

"Husband, second chances rarely come by, and I don't want to see someone who took the right decision after making a mistake be subjected to misfortune because that would mean redoing their lives or correcting themselves is worthless. If it is worthless, then it is meaningless for us to forgive people. We should've just killed them all, no matter how small the mistake maybe."

Davis inwardly sighed as he saw Evelynn's stance that was a bit extreme.

From Evelynn's account, he knew that this Hana Ross helped Evelynn survive simply by warning of a sneak attack and was not willing to harm her even when her friends attacked her. Otherwise, he would've killed her long ago.

"Do what you want..."

He spoke to her while Evelynn's lips curved into a smile as she stepped forwards, closing in on Hana Ross before she stood in front of her. She reached out her hands towards her and lifted her up to her dumbfounded gaze, and swung her hand.

*Pahh~*

Hana Ross's head swiveled towards the right as she became even more dumbfounded. A red imprint clearly became visible that should've made Hana Ross scream like a pig being butchered even though Evelynn held back with her physical might, but she stayed silent, merely biting her lips to fend off the searing pain.

"I realized that I haven't personally punished you for you trying to scheme against me in the first place but don't worry. I'll ask my father-in-law, Emperor Logan, to do something about this matter. You two can stay safe for a week somewhere before returning to your empire. That way, it is safer."

Hana Ross's eyes went wide. Her lips quivered as she began to cry again, but it was tears of relief and happiness.

"Thank you~ Thank you, Crown Princess Evelynn! Thank you, Crown Prince Davis! I will be eternally grateful for the forgiveness and help you have given me, given us!"

Hana Ross broke down crying again, her body relaxing as she crouched and kneeled, knowing her place while her husband held her lovingly and thanked them again and again, bowing his head repeatedly. It seemed that he didn't feel his pride taking a hit because he perceived the Loret Empire, no, the newly formed Grand Sea Alliance that had taken form to be more significant in strength and status.

During the escape, they learned that the Ross Empire was no longer an empire but a kingdom that had come under the subordination of the alliance between the Loret, Ruth, and Ashton Empires. It was said that they, no the Crown Prince, Davis alone managed to unify the entire Grand Sea Continent by making a mess out of the Guardian Alliance. However, he wholeheartedly accepted their rule solely because the damage done to the populace of the Grand Sea Continent itself was negligible, making him feel immense respect for them.

Evelynn nodded to their gratefulness and sent them away, while after some time, they continued their mindless walk through the streets of the city they were currently in when Davis suddenly couldn't help but smile.

"You're so kind, Evelynn..."

"I'm not." Evelynn shook her head, "I'm merely returning the favor. Back then, if she joined that group of psycho women, I would've been undoubtedly killed. Even when I think about it now, I'm afraid to feel that I might've never experienced all this bliss if it weren't for her warning me to dodge their sneak attack. I don't care if it was out of concern or self-preservation, but it is a reality that she indirectly saved me."

Davis smiled wryly.

What favor? That favor was over when he chose not to kill Hana Ross. This was helping additionally out of the kindness in her heart.

'Perhaps, out of all my women, Evelynn's the one with the kindest heart...'

He couldn't help but think what kind of incompatibility her kindness would impose while training with Poison Laws. Did he do the right thing by pointing her to practice Poison Laws as that was her Innate Law?

Davis didn't know the answer, but he felt that this was for the best as she had the most dependable chances to become powerful with Poison Laws.

However, these two didn't know that they had saved a pregnant woman from meeting a tragic fate. That's right. Hana Ross was five days pregnant with her husband's child, which she herself had no idea of.

Nevertheless, with this event interrupting their fun, Evelynn and Davis returned to their temporary inn and waited for the other girls who went on their own way shopping to join up before their short three-day trip came to an end as they returned to the Loret Empire.

However, the main reason they returned is to cultivate!
